<H1>Where do we go from here?</H1>

<P>
This release of <I>glean</I> is just a beginning.  With a little
luck, and if the open-source development process works well,
<I>glean</I> will eventually become a comprehensive tool helping consumers
to choose the best OpenGL-based products and developers to create
them.  Here's what we need to do next.

  <LI><A HREF="newfeat.html">Add new features to the infrastructure.</A>
  <LI><A HREF="repo.html">Start building a repository of results.</A>
  <LI><A HREF="port.html">Port <I>glean</I> to other operating systems.</A>
  <LI><A HREF="cleanup.html">Clean up some loose ends.</A>

<P>
Please consider volunteering for some part of the jobs above. 
These projects are great candidates for open-source methods:  they
won't take too much of your time, you can work independently, and
everything you contribute will have great leverage to help make sure 3D
graphics is Done Right.  Sign up as a developer at
<A HREF="http://sourceforge.net/">SourceForge</A> and then
check <A HREF="http://sourceforge.net/project/?form_grp=430">the
<I>glean</I> project page</A> if you can help.
